I use wd40 to clean the wheels, just keep it off the tyres and disks. If they are really bad try GUNK.

Well if you really want to get it perfect then take the wheel off and take the discs off, then you can really get to work on it.

Or just leave it dirty, seeing as no one gives a shit about dirty wheels.

Brush some paraffin on with an old paint brush, that will shift all the muck, then just wash it as normal mate.
